CEREC Crowns & Tooth Restorations
A dental crown is one of the most common procedures people hear about in a dental office. A crown is a rather
simple procedure to "cover" or "cap" a broken or decayed tooth. When a crown is cemented into
place, it covers the entire tooth surface that is above the gum line. when effectively placed, this restoration could
possibly last you a lifetime. CEREC technology allows us to restore a tooth with a crown in a single visit, using strong
ceramic tooth-colored material, saving time and money.

Veneers
Porcelain veneers, also called dental veneers, are thin shells of porcelain that cover the front side teeth to create
a nice cosmetic look for the teeth. Veneers are most commonly used to make cosmetic changes to teeth that are discolored,
misaligned, chipped or thin. the technology of porcelain veneers has made it simple for us to give you the gorgeous smile
you have always wanted.
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is a customized false tooth, or set of teeth, that is cemented permanently between two healthy
teeth. This fils the space left by the missing tooth or teeth. This procedure allows patents to limit the shifting
of the neighboring teeth, correct bite problems, and reduce the risk of gum disease.
Dental Implants
Dental Implants has become the fastest growing aspect of dentistry today, and we are very much ready and able to accomodate
our patients with a prosthesis, or a crown that is totally supported by a dental implant.
Dr. Earp has obtained his Fellow with the International Congress of Oral Implantology, the only society of Implantologists
that certifies each dentist according to dental implant placement. He has successfully completed the curriculae necessary to
address the varied surgical skills needed to place implants, and has enjoyed, along with our patients, the wonderful service that
is literally "replacing teeth in the jaw bone".

Partials/Dentures
Partials and dentures are alternatives for those people who are missing teeth, who may not be candidates for implants.
Partials are used to replace multiple missing teeth. There are two types of partials, acrylic and cast. Both are great
appliances; cast partials are just longer lasting. Dentures are to replace an entire arch of teeth. Dentures are custom
made to fit you perfectly, giving you a smile you will love.
Teeth Whitening
Many patients indulge in soda, coffee, wine and cigarettes, which can leave their teeth with stains that dull their
smile. One of the most common questions patients continually ask is, "How can I get my teeth whiter?" The
answer is simple: with teeth whitening! Our office administers the less invasive Boost Whitening System and Opalescence
System for a loasting natural smile.
ViziLite Oral Cancer Screening
Oral cancer is far too often discovered in late stage development. Oral cancer treatment often results in disfuguring
effects on patients and can seriously compromise their quality of life. Early detection and diagnosis can make a tremendous
difference in life expectancy; oral cancer is 90% curable when found in its early stages. Our hygiene staff offers this
screening at your scheduled hygiene appointment to help with any concerns you may have, and give peace of mind.

Digital X-Rays
A form of x-ray imaging, where digital x-ray sensors are used instead of traditional photographic film. Advantages include
time efficiency through bypassing chemical processing and the ability to digitally transfer and enhance images. Also, less radiation
can be used to produce an image of similar contrast to conventional radiography.

Intraoral Camera
With an intraoral digital camera, patient education is simplified by being able to help the patient see what the doctor sees.
With bright LED or halogen light sources, intraoral digital cameras also allow you to visualize more. This helps our practice to
diagnose fractures the naked eye would never have seen, and to be proactive in your dental hygiene care.
